The companies listed on this page are only a few of the many servers offering free hosting. Most of them I try myself and they are hard to categorize, because it depend on what features you are looking for your site or what you want to do with your free site. For example if you want to use all the features of your Front Page 98 or 2000 then Homepage.com is the place you need. If you do not want server host banner above or pooping up on your site then you need a company like crosswinds.com. Each one has a special feature that will help you create great web sites, but each one has his drawbacks, remember you are getting free web hosting, if you want perfection you better pay for your web server. On an overall view of each free hosting company, if you are planning to create a business page then Hypermart.net and Virtualave.net are the best for the free e-commerce feature. If you need a good community then Xoom, Yahoo-Geocities, Fortunecity and Tripod will be great for you. Remember each has his pro and cons. Like Homestead that has Special Software to create professional looking web pages, but whatever you create on them has to be edited only on their software. Tripod is a great company but it will make changes to your html files and you will not be able to transfer them to another site. On Prohosting you have to put the banner yourself, but remember if you chose a free hosting company with no banners, please put at least a small banner or a link somewhere to redirect others to your hosting company; realize that you need to refer others so that the hosting company get traffic or profit. Some of the free hosting do not have CGI but in most cases the have a CGI library you can use. Easyspace will provide 100 MB to charities. Webjump will let you upload via FTP but not to download. All of them will have an idiosyncrasy, but all of them will be free. Check them yourself to find more features.
